Description: | Of Shaman King fame, here's another series by Hiroyuki Takei about a buddha with the 1,000 arms armor. Sennju, an emissary of the buddha Kannon, appears in the human world to find and protect the reincarnation of the buddha Mirokou. The emissary arrives on Earth just in time to save a young girl from being bullied by some rough looking men. Just who is this girl and will she believe that he's a buddha who was sent by Kannon? * Also included are three oneshots; two of them are called Death Zero and Itako no Anna. Death Zero - A WWII pilot was shot down and killed, but he still had a promise to keep that not even death could stop him. Itako no Anna - Anna is an Itako, a priestess who can call upon spirits, learning the trade with her grandmother. One day, they run into a temple to find the master of the temple quarreling with a sword collector over whether the sword may be removed from the temple or not. And she and her grandmother decide to call upon the original owner of the sword and aid the temple master. |

As a reader of Shaman King, I found reading this at the same time very interesting and very tiring. If you compare the two, the storytelling and also the art do not flow in the same way. But this is an earlier work so of course I can understand that.
It was really interesting to see Anna Kyoyama (my fave character from Shaman King) in her first appearances, even though she was quite different, at least in her acts... but it was very tiring to try to keep up with all the characters, some of which only had very little "screen time".
However, if you happen to have an interest in Buddhism and/or Hiroyuki Takei's work, you really should read this one.
